This is more of a curiosity question, but when one selects, en-US or de-DE as their region where does that data come from? Where does it say it uses mm/dd/yyyy in the former or dd.mm.yyyy in the latter? Or imperial in one, and metric in the other? I don't know if this is an OS X issue, or a BSD issue, but I understand .GlobalPreferences can override the settings, which I believe the custom settings from Settings gets written to, but the master default settings, where are they actually defined?
